Welshpool drink driver caught with partner in BMW car
A driver who was found to be twice over the drink-drive limit with his partner in the car has been banned from driving. Police were called at 11.20pm on May 16 after receiving a report from a member of the public in Welshpool who believed that the driver of a BMW X1 was under the influence of alcohol. Officers stopped the vehicle driven by Sukhminder Singh in Church Street and he failed a roadside breathalyser test. The 31-year-old was arrested and found to be twice over the drink-drive limit almost two hours later following a further breathalyser test at the police station. Defence solicitor Owain Jones told Welshpool Magistrates' Court that Singh couldn't recall how much he had drunk that evening, but it was "clearly more" than the two beers he had told police. Mr Jones said: "I explained the risk to himself, other road users and his family. His response was of guilt, and he feels ashamed and deeply regrets his actions. "He has no previous convictions and has never been in trouble before. This has been a lesson to him." Welshpool Magistrates' Court was told that Singh and his partner sought asylum in the UK due to religious persecution in India. "He has no benefits, but he lives off the generosity of friends, family and Sikh community," Mr Jones explained. Singh, of Mason Street, West Bromwich, was given a 20-month driving disqualification and ordered to pay the court £253 within three months after pleading guilty to drink driving. Nicholas Powell, chair of the magistrates' bench, said: "We are very disappointed seeing you here under these circumstances. "Drink driving is very foolish which could have resulted in injuries to people, yourself and your family. It seems that you gave no great thought about them."
